One of the two, the "Every Day" commuter bike designed by Beloved Bicycles, features hand-sewn leather grips, carrying handle and toe clip covers, designed and produced by Geoffrey and Valerie Franklin of Walnut Studiolo in Portland.

Geoffrey Franklin is an architect by training and bicycle commuter by passion who started the company because of dissatisfaction with the bike accessories already on the market.

"We've had tremendous support from the Oregon bicycle industry," the Franklins write in an email. "And (we) are now starting to wholesale to stores around the world."

The Chris King Precision Components plant in northwest Portland is building the Beloved/Rapha-branded "Everyday" commuter bike. And Chris King components are being used on that bike as well as the Rapha-branded "Continental" bike, a handmade to be built by Portland bike builders Tony Pereira and Ira Ryan.
